no. When you see something like this, please report it to Fedora
infrastructure so we can get it fixed.

Right. 

I have fixed the 2 nameservers now. 

We now score 7 of 9. 

The other 2 points seem to be for ipv6 MX records. 
I'm not sure thats likely to change anytime soon. We currently have
redhat.com handle our incoming emails to fedoraproject.org and do some
spam filtering, etc. While we could change this, it's not something we
want to do quickly or lightly.
